The attorney for the 33 Bakau youths, who allegedly rioted in Bakau in December of last year, has asked for a speedy dispensation of justice.
The youths, including opposition politician Doudou Kassa Jattahave been charged with seven counts of conspiracy and felony.
But their lawyer on Thursday raised concern over the slow pace of their trial following several setbacks.
Counsel Muhammed Deen yesterday filed an application at theKanifing Magistrates’ Court presided over by Principal Magistrate Omar Jabang for an expeditious and fair trial.
His application came when the case failed to proceed again.
